✅ Level: Easy — Echinodorus Horizontalis is a robust sword plant with striking horizontal leaf growth. No CO₂ required.
Echinodorus Horizontalis is distinguished by its characteristic, broadly spreading leaf habit — the leaves grow more horizontally than with most other Echinodorus species. This provides a unique, open structure to the mid or background zone of the aquarium.

✂️ Care
Low maintenance and suitable for almost any aquarium. Do not plant the rhizome too deep in the substrate. Take the horizontal growth habit into account when determining placement — give the plant enough space.
